Rihanna, Head of Fenty Corps, Is Celebrated on Boss Appreciation Day

Imagine if Rihanna was your boss. Imagine if “you got it, boss” is a thing you could say in total sincerity to Rihanna. “Right away, boss,” is another thing you might say, and when you said it, you would know full well you’re going to do the assignment—right away even!—because, again, your boss is Rihanna.

How would you tell her you care? How would you express your appreciation that you are the chosen one who signs the deposits that your boss Rihanna issues (through Ri-HR probably, but still)? If you’re actually Rihanna’s employees, you put together a little office party.

Fenty x Puma, now in its second year, has been a boon for the German sportswear company. Rih even showed the full Fenty collection, which is only in its second season, at Paris Fashion Week this September. That deserves a few Mylar balloons, which she received, spelling out the word “boss.” It certainly deserves a piñata made in her likeness with its tattooed hand over a bell that reads, “Bitch please.” She joked in caption of the Instagram, “When you don't show up to the office for #BossAppreciationDay,” along with the hashtag “#FiredThemAll.” The only thing missing was a “world’s best boss” coffee mug, which she could use primarily for wine.

The piñata joke harkens back to those Instagrams from last year—the “Fenty Corp Employee Handbook” ones—which included hilarious delights such as, “If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work,” and, “Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday and Sunday.”

Imagine these were the rules implicit in working under Rihanna, and know with your whole heart you’d accept a job at Fenty Corps anyway. You’d probably still throw a Boss Appreciation Day, with Mylar balloons and all.
